Default Spirituality. How has it affected you?

Okey, so after going through alot of spiritual matereal - echart tolle and using google, I became very spiritual. I feel alot better and I've become very emotionally controlled. It's been months since I felt angry or really irritated and I appreciate all the small things in life. So my life has become alot more joyous and I've attracted more joyous people into my life too.

On the bad side - I've become incredible lazy! My self-dicipline has taken a huge shot to the hip. Living in the now - I've become pretty satisfied and unmotivated. But man, it's time to leave it alone for a while and start focusing on non spiritual pursuits. It's like my concioussness went back down to courrage. I'm just gonna follo zig ziglers advice and trust that motivation comes after you get some momentum going.

A Spiritual Warrior constantly tests themselves and strives to make themselves better in all aspects of their being: Spirit, Body, Mind and Heart.

This is not incongruent with appreciating what is around you, in fact, it enhances your appreciation greatly.

Zen, Bushido, and Toltec traditions all agree that to be a Warrior means to walk in balance with all things - Spirituality inclusive.

I've felt that way before. Most of the goals I've set for myself seemed shallow and incongruent with my spiritual path. Try the "How to discover your life purpose in about 20 minutes" technique. Whichever path presents itself, ask if it has a heart. If it doesn't, move on, until you find something that truly resonates with your spirituality.
